"Petrsosinella" is a comedic fairytale, and all topics are therefore handled in a purely light-hearted and comedic way. It does, nonetheless, touch on various topics that some may find uncomfortable.
This story has a transgender main character. There is rejection by a parent, continous misgendering, transphobia, and light references to the character's body. The character does not experience dysphoria.
It contains strong sexual humour and language, and some light scenes of seduction without smut.
There is light gender discrimination, attempted but ineffective imprisonment/emotional abuse/psychological abuse of a child and then young woman (both parental and systematic), and revenge gaslighting and manipulation.
There is also some heteronormativity, implied homophobia, slut-shaming, and a brief instance of sex-worker shaming.
Once upon a time, a witch wished for the perfect daughter - one who was beautiful, cunning, wicked, a master of magic...
But she never said that she wanted her to be cis.
Humiliated to hear after 12 years that her preciously raised "son" is actually a girl, the witch comes up with the most genius solution: to lock her in a tower until she "admits" that she's really a boy.
But when did trying to imprison an omnipotent malevolent entity ever end well for anyone?
Originally written for "Sappho’s Spinning Wheel: A Yuri Garden Anthology", "Petrosinella, the Perfect Witch's Daughter" is a witchy retelling of Basile's bawdy original fairytale, and a rowdy love letter to all those deliciously wicked witch's daughters we were told to despise as children.
